Keeping myself filled with wonder and curiosity about the world
around me. Striving to always be in a state of learning. Spreading
happiness and minimizing suffering to everyone around me to the
best of my ability.

I love tinkering. With my phone, with my computer, with anything. I
really enjoy building PCs. I am into pro-wrestling and MMA. I'd
love to be turned on to new things by someone who's as passionate
about them as I am about the things I love.

I'm always reading one book or another at any given time. A few of
my favorites are Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Giver, and A Song
of Ice and Fire. Anything by Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Neil
deGrasse Tyson, or Richard Dawkins.

My favorite TV shows are Community, Louie, Doctor Who, Walking
Dead, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Office, Flight of the
Conchords, Arrested Development, Firefly, Scrubs, Boy Meets World,
The Wonder Years, Fresh Prince of Bel-air, and Married with
Children.

My favorite movie is Forrest Gump. Other favorites include The
Fountain, 50 First Dates, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I
Love You Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Big Lebowski, Blazing
Saddles, The Departed, Moon, and Interstellar. Basically anything
directed by Christopher Nolan. Or Darren Aronofsky. Or scored by
Clint Mansell.

Music:
Anything from The Beatles to 2pac, from Willie Nelson to Regina
Spektor, and almost everything in between. My favorite bands right
now are probably Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters and Men, and Florence
+ the Machine.

I love Thai, Mexican, Italian, and sushi. Love spicy food and I
would probably put lemon/lime on everything I eat if I could.

The unfathomable vastness of the universe. A couple years back I
attended an event hosted by The Planetary Society, hosted by Bill
Nye, on the night the Curiosity Rover landed on Mars. It was one of
the most memorable nights of my life. Mr. Nye did a great job of
getting everyone excited about what was being attempted by NASA and
JPL. As it was being announced in real-time that Curiosity was
making its descent into the Martian atmosphere, the excitement in
the room was palpable. When we got confirmation that Curiosity
successfully landed, an incredible wave of cheers swept all of us.
You could see genuine joy and excitement on every face there,
especially on Bill Nye. That night, it blew my mind to think that
somewhere out there in the dark of space, a human creation landed
on another planet. Shaking Bill's hand that night is something I
will probably keep with me for the rest of my life.

Breaking a sweat at the gym. At home relaxing with my dog. Playing
board games or video games with friends. Getting experimental in
the kitchen. Watching documentaries on Netflix. Watching or reading
online lectures about programming and trying out various
programming exercises. All of the above are likely candidates.
